Reading your score

0 = always aware of joint, 100 = never aware (joint 'forgotten'). Higher = better.

Important. These questionnaires are provided for education and self-tracking. A score is not a diagnosis and does not replace advice from a doctor or physiotherapist. Seek urgent care for a knee that is hot, red and swollen, follows a significant injury, or will not bear weight.
